Do you eat the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables?

The current dietary recommendation for fruits and vegetables is 5-9 servings a day. I must confess that while I love produce, I don't eat quite that much. Just wondering how many people do? (Good job, those who do. )

As a vegetarian I try to eat as much fruits and veggies as possible. I know from experience how much better I feel eating them, then if I just grab a bagel or cereal. In fact a bowl of cut up fruit keeps me satisfied much longer then most quick breakfasts.

Same. I get my daily servings often. Since going vegetarian it's been much easier too.

Honestly? No. Before I got serious about losing weight and had weight loss surgery, I didn't eat a lot of vegetables because I wasn't crazy about them. Since surgery (3.5 years ago) I've gotten much more serious about being healthy and setting a good example for our kids, so I do eat a wide variety of vegetables...only now I physically cannot consume enough of them to meet the daily recommendations. Potent vitamins for the win, lol.

On the days I can eat, I do get the minimum & more, especially when my garden is producing. But some days, all I can handle is a few Saltines to settle my stomach. I marked yes, because the sick days are not in my control.

I love to eat fruits and vegetables, but I am lazy about it some days.

I dont get nearly enough of my servings of anything, aside form water. I'm actually plan on changing my diet in the next few weeks, to make sure i get enough of these two food groups specifically as well and trying to exercise more often and be overall much more healthy.

Oh how I try! Somedays though, I just don't have all that on-hand or the time to consume it all! I do try very hard to get everything needed, but like today, I don't always get it from the foods I eat. So that's why I have a whole arsenal of herbs and tinctures and all sorts of crap. Not crap. I shouldn't call it crap. Lol. For instance, tonight I took a whole 2 extra doses of seabuckthorn oil because it contains so many vitamins and omegas that I know I didn't get from the little I ate today. So I try to make up for it by doing things like drinking it or something similar.
